Mygig- aftermarket fact or fiction
I was recently told by a local dealer that they can get me an Unlimited Sahara from the lot then install a mygig in it for me. I talked to my "first" dealer and he said that is not true. Does anyone know for a fact whether mygig is available as an aftermarket accessory?
This whole process gives me another reason to drink.

I just bought and installed the MYGIG that I bought from a dealer on EBAY, yes it was a BRAND NEW unit.

My local Jeep dealer also said they cannot be bought yet, this guy on EBAY has been selling 3 at a time. Email him, his name is Mark, very informative and nice guy. He has great feedback. I know of 3 people including myself who have bought the MYGIG from him and it was a great deal.
By the way, I installed the new stereo myself in about 7 minutes, just make sure if your going to get a MYGIG your current JK stereo ALREADY has the stock Sirius Radio, single or 6 disc. In fact this guy will buy your current radio on trade toward the purchase of the MYGIG from him

Mygig cost
Hi,
How much di you pay for the mygig. The buy it now price was $1799.
What was the reserve price if I may ask.
Also how much was the trade for the 6 CD player.
I activated my sirius already, can I transfer it to the new unit?
Thanks in advance

I also purchased a MyGig from that eBay auction. Took me about 15 minutes to install it, but I was working at night with only my dome light.
The GPS antenna is a piece of cake, and it'll be plain as day to you when you start to take the dash apart. There is already a mount for it on the top of the bracket that the radio slides in. You'll need to provide your own screws to fasten it in though. Someone on another forum used two-sided tape.
The Sirius on the MyGig I got worked right out of the box. I'm wondering if these MyGigs are from other Jeep owners that didn't want them and were already activated (for their 1-year free)...
The only thing that threw me during installation was that when I turned it on for the first time (to check it before I put the dash back together), no Nav maps would display (even though it had a lock on 7 satellites). Driving the car up the block fixed that. I guess it needs to get a few different GPS readings before it knows where it is.

Your Sirius reciever is seperate from your radio, I think the reciever is under the drivers seat? So when you hook up a Sirius ready radio, MYGIG, it is already working, no phone calls to make.
There is a guy on the other forum that unfortunately bought a JK 6 Disc Sirius radio from EBAY because he did not have sirius and when he hooked it up he found out he still did not have sirius until you buy the receiver kit from mopar.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SIRIUS FROM THE FACTORY NOW, YOU NEED THE RECIEVER! NO MATTER WHAT FACTORY RADIO YOU ADD
Go to www.mopar.com and click on Jeep then 2007 Wrangler then accessories then audio/video then radio, the Sirius receiver with antenna is about 150 bucks
Part number 82210466
Sirius Satellite Radio System Installation Kit
Satellite Receiver Install kit - includes I-sheet, wiring harnesses and antenna. For vehicles built prior to 11/30/06, please order bracket 55395602AC. For vehicles built after 11/30/06, this bracket is not needed.
$154.00

Look at the factory install on the picture below, this got me thinking,,,, They use Black Plastic panel screws, well they werent screws they just pop in so I replaced my screws with the plastic panel screws also found at the hardware store just in case the metal screws would mess with the compass module located in the center on the top cover, just an FYI, I could be wrong, I tend to over think things sometimes
